New Year . . . Time to learn New Skills!

Announcing the Quilting Skill Builder Series at Just Sew in Highland, Utah.

Each time I teach this series it is so gratifying to see quilters grow in confidence as they learn and learn it RIGHT!

The 6 class series will begin on Wednesday, January 22. One class will go from 10 am to Noon and the second class from 7-9 pm.

Hopefully offering a morning and evening class will accommodate most schedules.

In the 6 classes you will complete this table runner with the solid color of your choosing.

The sign up is available in the store at Just Sew today. Below is the class description:
